Google GMAIL is one of my favourite email provider. But what if you cannot afford $ 6 or $ 10 to pay for a professional domain with Google Apps for work? It is the same problem with Microsoft Office 365. This had been a big challenge to small businesses and individuals.

Zoho is a company that's offers free custom email hosting .If you want to enjoy clean in box with no ads then Zoho mail is the place.

NB: you will need a phone number and an email to go through the verification and confirmation process.

After creating you account, you should see a page like look like the one below.
